Château Prieure Canteloup 2009, Ac Côtes De Bordeaux
Bordeaux, France$18.85
Classic old world nose. Cool black cherry fruit mingle with woodsy spicy-earthy tones. Very perfumed and inviting nose. Iodine like body, a little bitter orange peel mixed with earthy tobacco notes on the palate....there's also "wet dog" in it...you know what i mean...that's a term I used several decades ago and it definitely applies to this wine. Clean finish.

De Wetshof Finesse Lesca Estate Chardonnay 2012, Wo Robertson
Robertson, South Africa$14.75
Wow this is outstanding...Especially considering it's under $20 bones. Really nice natural and pure nose of butter, mineral, white musk, melon, banana and cream. (lot's of Malolactic on this baby). The palate is full suave with intense-elegance. Nice structured finish.

Akarua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011
Central Otago, New Zealand$37.95
BIG, RICH & ROUND! ...is the best way to sum up this Pinot. Fans of Russian River Valley Pinots will appreciate this offering. The nose is deep and seductive with sweet brown sugar, sweet cherry tobacco & warm spices. The palate is full, round and plush - it has a real creaminess. The finish is long and smooth. Would I purchase it again? You bet!

Southbrook Triomphe Cabernet Franc 2010, VQA Niagara On The Lake
Ontario, Canada$21.95
A wine made with passion and diligence with respect for the land. This organically grown wine finally proves what so many organic renegades already knew. You might think I’m full of it, but try this deliciously smooth Cabernet Franc and you will walk away a believer in the organic movement as well. Guaranteed.

Back 10 Cellars The Big Reach Riesling 2012, VQA Lincoln Lakeshore
Ontario, Canada$25.00
Sweet and lemony with zesty acidity to keep itself fresh. An off dry Riesling that marches to the beat of its own drum.

Bayton Chardonnay 2012, Wo Constantia
South Africa$17.95
Isn't this what everybody wants in a full bodied chardonnay...the fat, the voluptuous fruit and lush mouth feel, the butter without the overbearing wood taste...??? Well I love this full sexy style and to me, I need to look no further...at $17.95 a bottle, this is quite amazing stuff...there's a boat load of Chards that cost $50 a bottle and they are in the shadows compared to the quality of this Bayten SA whites are blowing my socks off lately... Best QPR Chard I've ever tasted!
